On-hand

Units physically in the warehouse right now.

Definition

On-hand quantity is what the warehouse believes it physically holds. It is not always the same as available-to-sell once allocations, damage and quarantine are removed.

Worked example

On-hand 120, allocated to open orders 15, damaged 5 → available 100. Reorder maths should use the sellable figure, not raw on-hand alone.

Why it matters for replenishment

Buying from on-hand without allocations overstates cover and delays POs.

Common questions

On-hand vs available?

Available is what you can still sell after allocations and holds.

Does in-transit count as on-hand?

No — that is on order / in transit until received.

Why do channels disagree?

Sync delays or unmapped locations. Fix the warehouse mapping first.

Is on-hand stock the same everywhere?

The idea is shared, but formulas and marketplace rules differ. Use the definition on this page for ecommerce replenishment.

Do I need software to track on-hand stock?

A spreadsheet works for a few SKUs. Once you have many suppliers or channels, a replenishment tool keeps the numbers current.

Does OmniRestock change my live stock?

Not unless you switch Stock write or Purchase orders on for a connection. Drafts stay drafts until you confirm.
